OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND (OCOTF)
($ in Thousands)
I.
Description of Operations Financed:
The Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund (OCOTF) was established by the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 1997, to meet operational requirements in support of emerging contingency operations without
disrupting approved program execution or force readiness.
Consistent with recommendations included in the Report of the Committee on Appropriations accompanying H. R. 3326,
Department of Defense Appropriations Bill, 2010 (H. R. 111-230, pages 6 and 329), the Department is requesting
$1,552 million for FY 2011 and $350 million in FY 2010 in the OCOTF account for activities supporting Operation
Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The use of the OCOTF will enhance the Department’s flexibility for
managing emerging costs resulting from the redeployment of troop from Iraq and the rapid increase of forces in
Afghanistan, and supporting detainee operations at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay or other locations.

* Amounts Budgeted or Enacted in the OCOTF Appropriation for these Programs
JUONS: These amounts enable the Department to quickly provide equipment, supplies, services, and training to facilitate
the resolution of joint urgent operational needs as determined by the Secretary of Defense. The funds will be used for
compelling requirements designed to prevent casualties by providing joint solutions for immediate, rapidly changing,
asymmetric, time-sensitive, global challenges (FY 2011, $300.0 million; FY 2010, $200.0 million).
Other Requirements: Consistent with determinations included in the Report of the Committee on Appropriations
accompanying H. R. 3326, Department of Defense Appropriations Bill, 2010 (H. R. 111-230, pages 6 and 329), the
Department is requesting $901.8 million for FY 2011 and $150.0 million in FY 2010 in the OCOTF account. The highly
variable nature of the costs to rebalance United States Forces between Iraq and Afghanistan, the redeployment of U.S.
troops from Iraq, and rapid increase of forces in Afghanistan to locations lacking infrastructure and established logistical
support, make it difficult to plan for every requirement. These amounts will provide a minimal level of flexibility to
transfer funds to appropriations incurring unexpected, unplanned for costs during the year of execution
(FY 2011, $901.8 million; FY 2010, $150.0 million).
